461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: March 24, 2024, 12:38:56 PM
Because it's a complex problem.

We can agree the rich have advantages and the poor don't have any advantages when they're young. But we can know how good they manage their money when they already 40-50 years old regardless they get paid minimum or high amount salary.

The poor mindset don't know how to manage money, either they're uneducated or it's their own belief who adopt YOLO lifestyle.

The advantage of rich people, in my opinion, is that they have a lot of spare money. So when they gamble and the gambling they do loses, they won't mind it because they still have spare money. In my opinion, rich or not, but if we do gamble then we should be able to accept defeat which will definitely happen and not worry about the defeat that occurs, because if we think about it hard it won't change the situation, the money lost in gambling won't change. will come back even if we think hard about the defeat.
and with poor people, they gamble, of course they really hope to win, because the winnings they get can help their finances or their needs, but with the fact that defeat is likely to occur, they are not prepared for this, so when they lose it is possible makes them annoyed or becomes an additional burden on their minds, which really doesn't have to happen. but what is clear is that poor or rich people still have to be able to limit their gambling and be able to manage their finances well, and don't expect to be able to get money for sure from gambling.

Indeed, the key is self-control, because with good self-control everything will be fine, including the gambling you do. If gambling is done with good self-control then there will be no emotions that will destroy the gambling being done, because if gambling is done with emotions then what will happen is chaos with rash actions. There have been many bad incidents with gambling done because of overflowing emotions. In my opinion, it's not just gambling, it's the same with other things, if we do it when we're emotional then what's likely to happen is chaos.
It's true that we have to be able to maintain self-control, but I believe controlling emotions is difficult, especially when the results of the gambling are not good, and if the gambler cannot accept that then emotions will control everything. then losses and other bad impacts can no longer be avoided. So it is important to control yourself and control your emotions properly when gambling.
Your points are good, but the part you mentioned that controlling emotion is difficult is the part I do not so much agree with. What you admit is difficult is what will be difficult for you, and what you agree is easy is what will be easy for you. Even if it is not easy, your dedicated effort can still prevail to your advantage. The reason why I emphasized on that is that the problem most gamblers are facing in this regard is due to their unwilling nature to fight as they ought to, they relax too much and give up so quickly, but these are not helpful to gamblers. The more we entertain our weakness, the more it bites and becomes an issue for us. The weakness of most gamblers is emotional and not the lack of luck or skills to gamble, and even if they planned best, emotion will still strike. This emotion of a thing is psychological and has to be handled psychologically and with strong determination and not the handling of levity.

This is possibly going to work if the gambler has a strong Will and Mind to fight and put things in the right state in their minds and also make sure that their plans are worked out as they should, which entails the control of our minds. Who says we can't control it? Once we are disciplined and determined at the said time, before we know it, we will see it done easily as if it was our daily doing that demands not much stress or effort on our part. But the moment we see it as difficult, the more it becomes difficult which is what most gamblers are suffering from. It depends on what you feed the mind.

The reason I say controlling emotions is difficult, because when we do gambling then it will change everything especially if we cannot resist the temptation of gambling which is strong, there is a possibility that we can experience bad things because we cannot resist the temptation of gambling. because if we cannot control our emotions or self, there will be arbitrary decisions that are not considered first, only a few people who in my opinion can control their emotions with the final results of the gambling that is done.

Well, with the number of people who have suffered huge losses and other problems I think it's because they are not disciplined in their gambling actions and that means they can't control themselves. This is true, I have heard it directly from a parent who gave direction to his students, he said that if the child thinks that what he is doing is difficult, the truth will be difficult, so the parent told him not to think it is difficult. Whether that's true or not I don't know. What is clear is that if gamblers gamble often or pursue losses I think they cannot control their emotions and themselves.

Gambling is supposed to be a fun based activity not a job nor a career. This is part of the things that lead to gambling addiction. The more seriously a person tends to take gambling the more time and money they would definitely invest into it and boom they end up spending way too much time and even money on gambling activities and stakes. As a responsible gambler, your idea and the way you view gambling matters a lot as it is what will determine how much time and money you invest into gambling activities.
If someone is a worker at a casino probably a traditional casino or an online one it is a different case but as a customer spending that much time would definitely lead to addiction.
Yep... agree... pushing our luck too much every day is not the best thing to survive and I think that will only happen in television series... maybe you heard that there is a gambling professional in this world, but I also suspect that he has something like special access in the games he plays or maybe cheats so he can still make profit every day. In gambling, I always feel that our win rate is very small, so the only thing that makes sense is that our luck is also very small and cannot be used to meet our needs.

Until now, the best approach to gambling is none other than to have fun and also to fill your free time. Even though you see people who are too maniacal and too crazy about gambling, you shouldn't be in their position either because I'm sure you know what dangerous things haunt people like that.
If we can make gambling a career or job, then now there are many people who say that they work as gamblers, but I have never heard anyone say they work as a gambler, which means this has invalidated the OP's question, unless they who own casinos, that's a different story, because they're doing business in a gambling hall, not gambling.
It would be very strange if someone thought they could do gambling as a career or job. Work is an activity that will bring in money, whereas when gambling we have to spend money first and even then the risk of losing is very large.
From the start, we have said that it is best to make gambling an activity just for fun. We only need to bring money that we can afford to lose and play gambling. It is a safe way to enjoy gambling, because if we think gambling can be a career or job, then we will always chase winning, and that is the wrong thing to do. Because once again the risk of losing is greater than the chance of winning.
464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 24, 2024, 08:35:26 AM
Yes, of course Lyon is able to survive in league 1 and since the start of the season when Lyon experienced a decline in performance I still believe this club is one of the popular clubs that will continue to maintain its reputation even though it often experiences a decline in performance without any definite clarity but still when it comes to the end of the season Lyon will start to rise to get a safe position in league 1.
Currently, Lyon has succeeded in occupying a top 10 position and I am sure that after this season's matches end, it is very likely that Lyon will finish in 7th or 9th position in the points table.
Lyon surprised me lately because with the poor start they had this season, I did not expect Lyon to come this far before the end of the season because I was expecting them to be relegated due to their poor performance, but lately, they regain their balance and were able to move up and left the relegation zone on time.
If Lyon keep performing well, they can make it to the Europa Conference League or even the Europa League next season.
Lyon managed to recover so that they can slowly distance themselves from the relegation zone this season. At the start of the season they were very disappointing, and fortunately the management was able to move quickly to appoint a new coach who would be able to bring fresh air to Lyon, and they succeeded in doing that. Yes, even though they are in the middle of the table, it is very good compared to their ranking at the start of the season because they have to struggle with their position which is very threatened by the red zone.
This is a form of success from management, where they realized that something was wrong with the team and they immediately moved quickly to fix it and now we can see the better results they can show. Things like this are what a team must have, they must act quickly with careful consideration when they see something wrong in their team. However, moving quickly is also not good without careful consideration, so everything must be considered carefully before making a decision.
465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 24, 2024, 08:20:12 AM

Madrid knows how to face its opponents, especially Bilbao, so in my personal opinion there will be no difficulties for Madrid when facing Bilbao, Madrid always dominates in every match, Ancelotti knows how to provide an effective strategy, when facing Osasuna who passed by, Madrid conceded enough goals. fast in the 7th minute but finally the score changed to 2-4 at the end of the match with Madrid winning.  The international break is nothing for the Madrid squad because the training they do is very consistent and disciplined.
You can't compare a 12th placed Osasuna to a 4th placed Bilbao and I bet you had it been Bilbao who had that two goal lead, I doubt it would have been easy for Madrid to come from under and win. I've noticed something about the Los Blancos and that's if they are losing by a goal or two, they become desperate and start commiting fouls and making silly mistakes. In this period of the campaign is when clubs will be looking to take a bite at Madrid.
You're right, it's unfair to compare Osasuna and Atletico Bilbao, even in the standings we can see the difference between these two teams this season. And if it was Atletico Bilbao who did it, I agree it would probably be more difficult for Real Madrid to turn things around.
Atletico Bilbao is a tough opponent for Real Madrid, they must not underestimate their opponents this time. Atletico Bilbao has the ability to make Real Madrid lose points in this match, especially since they really need a win to maintain their position so they can stay in the top 4 standings.
Whatever Atletico Bilbao will do to get them points in this match, they will appear full of motivation to beat Real Madrid. Meanwhile for Real Madrid, they also need to win, because if they lose they will be closer to their closest competitor, and that is something that is not good for them. This is a home match for Real Madrid, they must be able to ensure they can give a win to their supporters in the stadium and make them comfortable at the top of the standings.
466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 24, 2024, 08:05:14 AM
I'm not doubting that Borussia Dortmund cannot get a point from Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena this season. Borussia Dortmund need to beat Bayern Munich at home if they want to remain in the fourth position in the Bundesliga table, but I don't see that happening this season because Borussia Dortmund is struggling to win their matches in the Bundesliga.
The Bundesliga title is mainly fixed to be lifted by the outstanding clubs and Bayer Leverkusen happens to be the club sitting ontop with no absolute appropriate winning odds. Bayern Munich have been dominating the Bundesliga title in the very first sights of Dortmund, they did nothing about it and now they're aiming to do something? I guess they will only try their best to be coming behind from Bayern Munich this season. Borrusia Dortmund are no match for Bayern Munich this season. We've watch the performance of these teams taken place, and we already know the answer.
Let's see what Borussia Dortmund can do in this match, because their chances are quite doubtful of being able to beat Bayern Munich in this match. On the other hand, they also need a win to maintain their position in the standings, because if they lose this match, they will most likely be moved from 4th to 5th in the standings. The reason is that Laipzig only has a distance of 1 point from them.
Leipzig itself will face a team at the bottom of the standings, which allows them to beat their opponents in the coming week. It is indeed difficult to beat Bayern Munich, especially since they will be playing at home in this match, which will make them even more enthusiastic about winning.
Borussia Dortmund have to work harder if they want to get at least 1 point in this match. And in my opinion a draw might be a good result for them, considering that their opponents are rivals in the Bundesliga who are very difficult for them to beat. So just forcing a draw is already a good result.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 23, 2024, 02:58:59 PM
I agree that this match is unpredictable, but above all I think that Real Madrid is an extremely unpredictable team in this tournament. I mean, even if Manchester City had been the better team recently and had come into this match as favorites, Real Madrid could have pulled off a surprise in this match. Real Madrid has a different identity in this tournament and they are very dominant. I'm sure we will see a good match.
The managers managing this two teams respectively are in my view notorious for surprises and you just can't predict their next move before a game or even in the middle of the game they go on experimenting and applying different tactics till they get one which is giving the results they are expecting against the opponent. I would have loved to see this draws in the semi-final round as to me it's coming much early making the timing harder to predict in favour of which team the end result will be for. I'll have to skip this particular game off my books only to sit back and enjoy the two best quality and entertaining football team's of the time fill me with fun and suspense.
The 1st leg match is very important for both teams, whether home or away is not an excuse not to maximize their best game. It's quite difficult for me to choose, but Man City might be slightly favored, but again it's not a guarantee because we know that Madrid is still Madrid, which can make a comeback at any time. Playing at the Bernabeu has become Ancelotti's obligation to field his best squad, so there is no reason for Man City to be given many opportunities. Then on Man City side, they didn't come empty-handed, Pep Guardiola squad has stability, I know the players have almost equal abilities on each side. The battle of strength, strategy and agility between Ancelotti vs Pep Guardiola is the only match that will attract attention. Because the results of Leg 1 can have a big impact on the next match.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: March 23, 2024, 01:58:25 PM
When someone has become addicted, they will not be able to stop even if someone stops them or advises them because they feel right about the actions they are taking regarding gambling even though it is detrimental to themselves. It's true what you said, it's difficult to treat someone who is addicted because in my opinion what is sick is mental and their thoughts are not physical, because if they are physically sick they will definitely feel the pain and will treat it themselves.
If they are chronically addicted, maybe they really need help from someone who is professional in dealing with it, perhaps like a psychologist who is an expert in their field. Those who are addicted must of course be helped to get out of their addiction, because it is impossible for them to continue in that cycle. because it is a cycle that harms them financially or health-wise. especially if the person who is addicted is our own brother, I think we should help him to get out of the addiction that is detrimental to him.
When someone is addicted to gambling, advising them to quit is ineffective. Like shouting in a storm. Still, addiction is mental. War in the brain is more intricate than damaged bones. Although invisible, those scars and harm are eating them up

Help from professionals? The move is that. Just find someone who gets it. An addict speaks its language and knows its rhythm. Gambling may amuse and excite. When it changes and controls you, that's a red flag

With your brother and others, you must be proactive. Not a choice, but a duty. Show them their blind spots. Most importantly, guide them, not force them. Choose to quit that addiction. Long-ass fight with ups and downs, but also tiny successes. The grind will be real. What's worthwhile without a fight?

How is professional help different from advice? what the professionals give is not advice? I think the advice is the same, only they are more detailed and more thorough and the skills they have can make the addict finally realize it. In my opinion, giving advice is the same as helping them to become aware of their addiction so that they can recover from it. However, it is clear that gambling can change us quickly, but it depends on us. If we can control ourselves, everything will be fine. fine even though the temptation of gambling is very strong.
in my opinion, if we are addicted then we have to be able to stop, because if not it will get worse in the future, life will be destroyed and life will be at stake, there have also been many incidents of people ending their lives because they are addicted to gambling and cannot accept excessive pressure even though it is because of your own actions, not someone else's. Gambling addiction does not bring profit but brings disaster.
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: March 23, 2024, 01:34:34 PM
Everything will depend on the attitude of each gambler, those who can have wise attitude towards every decision will definitely be able to take the right steps, whether it is winning or losing, there will always be sense of being able to accept and determine what to do.
After all, they are faced with huge risks that are always there and of course every gambler must be able to maintain himself in any condition and with whatever results occur.
And as I said before, rich gamblers and poor gamblers will have different risks based on the resources they use, rich people will be able to win big when they are lucky and lose big when they are unlucky, and vice versa for poor gamblers.
It just that the relationship between rich people and poor gamblers can be quite significant and we can see how much money is used.
I agree with you, indeed if people are wise in gambling then they will not take careless actions, they will definitely take actions that are well considered. What you say is true, winning or losing, a wise gambler can definitely accept it well. because in my opinion we should be able to accept the results of the gambling we do, especially with frequent and inevitable losses. Many people experience big losses, perhaps because they cannot accept the losses that occur, so when gambling ends in defeat, it makes them become vengeful and want to gamble again to recover their losses.
That's true, in my opinion it depends on the amount of their bets and if they are aggressive in gambling then what will happen is big losses, rich people or poor people if they have the wrong perception about gambling then the risks that will occur in my opinion are the same. However, maybe rich people are calmer because they have a lot of spare money even though they bet using quite large betting amounts.

The thrill of winning and losing drives you, and your emotions run wild. You lose control when riding waves. The trouble is the game has you. The key is control, which is harder than it seems. Trying to win? It traps. Satisfaction never comes. That hamster wheel awaits you regardless of your outcome. The real win is playing on your terms, not the other way around

The true battleground is self-control and awareness. Understand your emotions and use them as a tool instead of letting them control you. What about gambling for fun? That's key. Enjoy, but maintain control. Maintain your composure, set sensible stakes, and never gamble to chase losses or earn a big payout. If it happens, you're losing. The crazy part is when you're having fun? You ironically make better choices and things work out better
Indeed, the key is self-control, because with good self-control everything will be fine, including the gambling you do. If gambling is done with good self-control then there will be no emotions that will destroy the gambling being done, because if gambling is done with emotions then what will happen is chaos with rash actions. There have been many bad incidents with gambling done because of overflowing emotions. In my opinion, it's not just gambling, it's the same with other things, if we do it when we're emotional then what's likely to happen is chaos.
It's true that we have to be able to maintain self-control, but I believe controlling emotions is difficult, especially when the results of the gambling are not good, and if the gambler cannot accept that then emotions will control everything. then losses and other bad impacts can no longer be avoided. So it is important to control yourself and control your emotions properly when gambling.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recovering gambling addict stories on: March 23, 2024, 09:28:51 AM
That's the last condition I'll let myself into.
Very bad reality indeed, and as a gambler, our concusness should always be at alert so as not to fall into some kind of situation and conditions that we will not be able to control our deeds and actions, because when we slid into such State, we likely exposed to any kind of conditions such that will be very unbearable for us some times.
This is why we have to do everything that we could to avoid gambling addictions because it better not to get addicted in the first place than trying to come out of our addictions that state is hard job and almost an impossible to attain.
First, we have to understand what gambling is, if we understand that, then it will be easier for us to classify it. I mean whether gambling is safe if done without restrictions or not, and of course if we understand gambling we will definitely say that gambling will be safe if we do it with very strict limits. Because if not then we will lose everything.
The reason is quite clear and basic, because gambling is something that is very risky and the chance of winning will not be greater than the chance of losing and this is also very related to luck. Luck is something that cannot be predicted, and in gambling if you want to win it requires a lot of luck. Meanwhile, we know that luck only comes once in a while and that is what means that in the end we will suffer more defeats than wins.
Therefore, we must still adhere to what not to do when we gamble, this will really help us to be responsible gamblers.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer's fan took his own life due to addiction on: March 23, 2024, 09:07:40 AM
-snip-

The most annoying part of the story that OP narrated is the lack of empathy or sympathy for the young chap who lost his life. Adin Ross and his team failed to know that the deceased might have become addicted by visiting his channel. He also failed to know that the youth who took his own life has friends and family members who are mourning the loss of a loved one. This is a clear indication that people only care about money and nothing else.

It's not that they don't know about this, but they just don't want to know or care about it. All they think about is content, money and popularity, they don't care whether their audience is addicted or not, the most important thing is how they can get money from the KICK platform, casino and donations. There are a lot of streamers like this on KICK and it's disgusting to see them keep laughing and not caring about this issue. And unfortunately, they hide behind the words "freedom". That's really disgusting.
It's nothing new if we see someone lacking empathy for other people, especially if they are the ones who caused it all. Especially if it has something to do with money, it could be said that for some people money is more important than anything, even more valuable than life. They will only think about themselves and will not care about what happens to other people, especially if that person is someone they don't know, they will pretend they don't know and cover their ears.
Yes, this happens a lot and this is part of life, there are people who care a lot, there are people who don't care about other people at all. In this case, we cannot blame anyone, and can only criticize people who we consider to be unempathetic.
This is one of the dangers of gambling if done wrong. Therefore, we always remind ourselves to always gamble with rules and limits so that we can avoid things like this that shouldn't happen. It's really sad if just because gambling ends in loss of life, this is something that really shouldn't happen.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 23, 2024, 08:52:54 AM
Joan Laporta's recent statements have caused confusion. Xavi was expected to leave Barca but Laporta said he wanted Xavi to stay. To be honest, I also think that Xavi should stay at Barca, but going back on his decision to leave would have a negative impact. They have put themselves in a deadlock. It's really difficult to be manager at Barca for a long time, if they don't win the championship in a season they immediately want a change of manager. The working environment there is really difficult, even if you are a legend of the club.
I think it would be a shame if Barcelona didn't keep Xavi, because overall he also showed something that wasn't bad, although not very good either. But they also have to remember that Xavi didn't get everything he needed with Barcelona, so management must be able to look in that direction. Now if they only demand the title then that doesn't make sense to me, but if they demand to be able to compete then that still makes sense, because it's not easy for a team to be able to compete with their situation not being good.
If Barcelona change their mind and want to keep Xavi that would be good news, especially if they are willing to lower their ego a little in determining the targets they must achieve. I mean it's okay to set a target, but it has to be adjusted to the team's circumstances too, don't let it become something forced that will look unreasonable. In my opinion, instead of setting a target to achieve a degree, it would be better for them to focus on solving the basic problems they are experiencing first.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 23, 2024, 08:36:07 AM
It will be very big shock if Inter Milan won't win Scudetto in this season with very big gaps they have against two biggest competitors.

Something which is so close to impossible obviously. The gap between Inter and AC Milan is now 14 points and there are 9 matches remaining only. Mathematically it is still possible for Inter to lose the scudetto if they lose 5 matches out of 9 remaining matches while on the other side AC Milan win all the 9 remaining matches. This scenario will make Inter have 88 final points while AC milan will have 89 final points. Looking at all the remaining matches of Inter, maybe AC Milan is the only one that may make lose 3 points while the other 8 matches should not be a big deal for Inter to win.
That scenario would be very difficult to happen, especially now that Inter Milan is also in very good condition, and will now even focus on Serie A after they had to be eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 16, when they had to be knocked out by a team from Spain, Atletico Madrid. In this way, Inter Milan will not want to lose the title again, especially since they only need to win a few more matches to be able to lock up the title this season. It would be very disappointing if they failed after they had led by such a large margin like this.
For me there is no reason for Inter Milan to fail this season, because they are already close to winning and are a long way from the team that is in 2nd place. Unless they have to be very unlucky to receive consecutive defeats, but I still think that is something that is impossible to happen, although nothing is impossible in football. But I'm just being realistic in assessing this. Because it is not easy to beat Inter Milan in Serie A this season.

I will not use the games played previous season to judge how Manchester City vs arsenal game will be because right now arsenal is a strong team and they have been doing better. I just know Manchester City have more advantage of winning since it is a home game for them, I won't be surprise if Manchester City wins against arsenal but I know the game won't be easy for Manchester City because arsenal is tough. From the performance of arsenal this season I don't think Manchester City will easily defeat them, if Manchester City wins against arsenal that means they are lucky to grab victory.
Not like that, if Manchester City win, it's has been expected. If Arsenal win, they're just very lucky.

Arsenal isn't that tough, they got beaten by Porto and they're struggle to win at the second leg in Champions League. This make Arsenal is actually don't have a good quality, they only strong against mediocre teams.

I'm surprised to see the ML odds for Manchester City is @1.85, that's high. Don't miss this chance.
For me, if Arsenal wins this match, it will not be luck, because even though they are not favorites, they have the ability to win this match. So if in the end Arsenal win, I won't be surprised by their victory, especially since they are also highly motivated to win, because only winning will give them a greater chance of becoming champions in the Premier League this season.
A tight game will take place because the two teams that will meet will set the same target, namely victory. Manchester City has an advantage because they will play as hosts in this match, it will make them even more motivated because they will be playing in front of their own fans.
What is clear is that they cannot make the slightest mistake, because if they do then be prepared for results that might disappoint them at the end of the match. Winning is very important for both teams, and it will make them go all out to ensure they can secure 3 points in this match.

The standings of Dortmund and Atletico Madrid in their respective leagues are almost the same. Dortmund is currently ranked 4th in the Bundesliga standings. And Atletico Madrid is ranked 5th in the Laliga standings. Which all still looks equal. And yes, Atletico Madrid was indeed lucky to beat Inter Milan and qualify for the quarter-finals. And now Atletico Madrid must not waste the opportunity they have now. And actually Atletico Madrid is also lucky because in the quarter-finals they will face Dortmund and are not the favorite team in the UCL. It's just that Dortmund cannot be underestimated either. They are quite consistent in the Bundesliga at the moment.

Both Dortmund and Atletico Madrid's performances in their home leagues are poor, which indicates that neither team is good enough this season for us to pick one to win. However, based on my observations, Atletico Madrid can defeat Dortmund; I know that Dortmund has talented players who can score goals easily, but they are not as good as they were last season. We should also consider the teams that each team faced in the Champions League round of 16 PSV was the opponent for Dortmund, and Atletico Madrid faced Inter Milan a formidable squad that is currently leading many teams in the serie A league.

It's not that Atletico Madrid is playing well this season that gives me hope that they can win the match against Dortmund; Atletico Madrid had no intention of winning any league this season other than advancing to the champions league and qualifying for another round of competition. Nevertheless, Atletico Madrid does their best to eliminate one of the best teams that is performing this season, and I think they can still perform well if they play in their field and make sure they win that match.
I am also optimistic that Diego Simeone troops can overcome Dortmund game, and by looking at Atletico Madrid's ambition and playing style, when we are aggressive, someone will do anything, even if they need to play rough. Atletico Madrid also has a lot of experience in the UCL with Simeone so they can have more chances against Dortmund.
Atletico Madrid and Dortmund are also considered dark horse teams in the UCL this time, but this match will still be fierce and could even be more entertaining. What is clear is that mentality is quite influential and will be the difference between the two teams. Atletico Madrid, who beat Inter, will certainly be more confident because last season Inter was a candidate in the final. Maybe Dortmund have to think hard because Atletico Madrid's defense remains the most difficult defense to penetrate during the UCL.

but usually addicts think that what they are doing is right and they don't believe what anyone else says other than themselves. usually they will refuse various forms of help, even from professionals, which makes it very difficult to treat gambling addicts. so the initial approach that can be taken to treat the addict is to approach him with empathy and understand what he is feeling. then, after a while of this approach being carried out, professional help is brought in to be able to provide emotional assistance to the addict and at the same time to help him get out of his addiction.
When someone has become addicted, they will not be able to stop even if someone stops them or advises them because they feel right about the actions they are taking regarding gambling even though it is detrimental to themselves. It's true what you said, it's difficult to treat someone who is addicted because in my opinion what is sick is mental and their thoughts are not physical, because if they are physically sick they will definitely feel the pain and will treat it themselves.
If they are chronically addicted, maybe they really need help from someone who is professional in dealing with it, perhaps like a psychologist who is an expert in their field. Those who are addicted must of course be helped to get out of their addiction, because it is impossible for them to continue in that cycle. because it is a cycle that harms them financially or health-wise. especially if the person who is addicted is our own brother, I think we should help him to get out of the addiction that is detrimental to him.

Yes, that's true, because many poor people gamble in the hope that they can get big wins that can help their economy and finances. it is very wrong if they hope for gambling so that they gamble instead of being able to help their situation get better, with the many current cases of gambling carried out with that purpose ending in disaster, in my opinion gambling is probably intended for people who does have money and is ready to lose it.
I agree with you, although in gambling there are wins that can be obtained, but that is not the main thing, because the main thing is defeat which makes us lose money, that is what we have to pay attention to because if we only think about winning, it is very likely that we will experience big losses. just. as has happened in many cases, and I think this can be a lesson for us not to do something similar.
Winning in gambling is really hard and chances of winning depend more on luck. In that case it is better not to participate in the gambling of the poor. They have very little money and after losing their own money is exhausted then later they become mentally disturbed which is bad for their family. It is better not to take risk than to experience loss. The right decision to invest from gambling for the poor is low risk here and not all will be lost.
That's clear, because in my opinion the winning percentage is smaller than the winning percentage and what you have to remember is that it cannot be changed, even though we gamble frequently, that doesn't mean we can win easily, because there is no way to can win easily. It's true what you said, for those who don't have good finances or are poor, please don't put too much hope in gambling, because even if they gamble to improve their financial or economic situation, it doesn't matter but the losses will be more dominant and more frequent.
If indeed we gamble with the aim of winning, then given the fact that defeat will occur, it is likely that what will happen is excessive pressure because we cannot accept the defeat that occurs and that can trigger or cause us mental disorders, of course this is very scary, unless it is true. can accept defeat, maybe everything will be fine even though the money at stake is lost in gambling because the final result is defeat, not victory.

I think all gamblers are impatient when faced with a big win or max win, because of course most of the gamblers who are aiming for gambling is to get a win,  and a big win or max win of course it is the most desired goal of every gambler. In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to make sure that you're getting the most out of your money.

I agree with you of course it's not a way to get a win, after all there is no sure way to get a win in gambling, because winning in gambling is only based on our own luck And also if we do gambling impatiently it may happen that the gambling session is short, and that is not what the gambler wants.

Yes and they make the buy bonus spin feature as an intermediary to be able to get that big win, even though the fact is that it doesn't always work or doesn't always produce the expected win, one of the reasons in my opinion is that they often hear about the big wins that other people have managed to get by buying bonus spins which in turn makes other people manage to get big wins like max win for example, and the problem is that they don't know how many failures the other person has experienced in his experiment, and maybe the other person managed to get a big win after sacrificing a lot of experiments or in the sense of sacrificing a lot of defeats which actually if calculated the amount of victory is the same as the amount they have lost before.

So actually it is not a victory but their money back again, but unfortunately most gamblers always consider that it is a very tantalizing result that makes them even exaggerate in response to their victory so that it makes domapin levels in the brain increase which makes them eventually get carried away and continue the game with a larger number of bets because they think that it is their lucky time and they think that the situation should be utilized. On the other hand, it is true as I said earlier that there is no sure way to really make a win even if you often buy bonus spins, because still the name of gambling activity is always about winning and losing.
Yes, that's true, there is no guarantee that by buying the free feature you can get a big win or max win. In fact, if we really have luck then we can get a big win with not too big capital, like my friend who got a big win with only $5 capital, he gambled last night with that big capital and didn't buy the free features, but he managed to get a win of $200. Even though it's not a max win, just by capitalizing $5 and getting a win of $200, that's already big in my opinion, and he didn't waste it, he immediately withdrew it and bought several properties that he wanted.
That makes sense, because there are people who think they will only stick with one casino because they think that the losses that have occurred can be returned in the future, so the many losses experienced will be returned when luck is on their side, so that the winnings can be said to be returned. money that has been lost, and there are also those who are looking for winnings by changing casinos. Everyone has different perceptions and their way of gambling is also different.

The issue of chasing loses is sometime that comes due to emotions especially when you might have lost money on several occasions.
Chasing of loses usually leads to incurring more losses, Though on a normal case everyone would want to recover a lost game and it really not an easy stuff to just let go because we are talking about money here, it's natural that no one would want to let their money just go, this is where discipline and self control comes into play in gambling.
When emotions arise while playing, it means we are gambling in an unstable state and that will make us try to always chase victory and that is something that is not good in the gambling activities we do.
Someone who can control themselves well will be able to suppress their emotions which can arise at any time, and that is actually what gamblers need so that they are always in a state of high awareness so they can control themselves very well.
Many people end up losing more because they can't control the emotions that arise when playing, because the urge to continue playing will always be there if emotions get the best of us. When we lose we will try to recover the defeat we feel, when we win they will never be satisfied with their victory and they will continue playing because they want an even bigger win. And that is actually a problem, because the winnings you get will turn into losses whose nominal value will even be greater. When it's like that, all that's left is regret for having missed out on victory.
